Emma Dean interviewed by Rebecca Levingston on 612 ABC Radio - 21 Oct 2021 (feat. Lucas Clarke)

Dear friends and family,

It's been a trying year, not only for me but for the world. It is so easy to get swept away in the commotion of fear and hate that is spoon fed to us; to focus on each other's differences rather than the things that bring us together. Practicing this song, I have shed many a tear. Perhaps all we need is a little more love and a shit load more dancing.

Merry Christmas dear friends. I love you.

Feed It

The first time since Christmas that I’ve laid still
The first time I’ve had to come apart
Oh he cracked me open like a coconut
He cracked me open and he ate my heart

He said, Oh if you want to fall awake with me (anywhere, any way)
Oh if you want to fall apart my love
Oh if you want to fall awake with me (any place, any day)
Hold me like a baby
Hold me like a baby, and sing to me

The first time since Christmas that I’ve felt whole
No more pieces of me scattered over town
Oh he cracked me open and he rearranged
The parts of me that he had found

He said, Oh if you want to fall awake with me (anywhere, any way)
Oh if you want to fall apart my love
Oh if you want to fall awake with me (any place, any day)
Hold me like a baby
Hold me like a baby, and sing to me

And when the bad thoughts come in the middle of the night
I reach out to him and he holds the light
He says, my chest is a forest so just hold on tight
And we’ll get lost together
He said, we’ll get lost together

He said, Oh if you want to fall awake with me (anywhere, any way)
Oh if you want to fall apart my love
Oh if you want to fall awake with me (any place, any day)
Hold me like a baby
Hold me like a baby
Oh if you want to fall awake with me (anywhere, any way)
Oh if you want to fall apart my love
Oh if you want to fall awake with me (any place, any day)
Hold me like a baby
Hold me like a baby
And sing to me
Hold me like a baby
Hold me like a baby
And sing to me
Hold me like a baby
Hold me like a baby
And sing to me

As soon as I heard that Gus had died, I jumped on my piano and wrote this song. It is for his partner Phoebe (one of my dearest friends); a tiny dancer, who is never afraid to love with her whole heart. 

For anyone who's ever lost someone they love.
